"On iteration": Why people leave Python

The only reason I'm starting to leave Python is because of performance. When you see a program that used to take 2 hours to run in python now taking 10 minutes in Java, it kind of makes you realize you've been making a mistake by using it places it doesn't belong.

Did you try cython/numpy/fileinput ?

just curious. Our team met perf problem in the past and each time, a rewritten code or even a rewritten module was all it took to get back on track.

There's always Jython for occasions like this one...

Jython is closer to Python's speed than Java's.

Or if you mean Jython with the speed-critical bits written in Java...well, there's always C for that.

Try:

Weave Cython SIP

Python is really easy to tie into other languages for the slow parts.
